Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Also among the questions that came in, this questioner says: What is the story of the jinn with the Prophet of Allah, Sulayman (peace be upon him)?
Answer:
Allah subjected the jinn to Sulayman to work for him, and they were in hardship from the heavy labor. Sulayman was standing in prayer when death came to him while he was standing in prayer. They continued working, thinking he was alive, and they did not realize he had died until the termite ate his staff, which he was leaning on. When he fell, the jinn knew that they do not know the unseen, because they had been working in hardship for all that time, thinking that Sulayman (peace be upon him) was watching them. If they had known the unseen, they would not have continued their work and would have known that he had died. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah bless you.
